Amazon.com Review

Get maximum aeration action with this 12-inch balloon-style whip from Best Manufacturers. Crafted from gleaming 18/8 stainless steel, the impressively sized piece makes quick work of blending sauces or whipping eggs. Its ten wires are securely fastened to the handle and finished with an epoxy sealant for sanitation. The weighted chrome handle adds comfort and control, making the whip feel like the professional-grade instrument it is. Safe in the dishwasher and made in the U.S.A., the whip also comes in a 14-inch size for larger hands and tasks. --Emily Bedard

It's massive. You will need a big bowl to work in. I prefer a 6 quart stainless steel bowl, for example, or my copper sabayon bowl which is roughly the size of a Citroen. All these qualifiers aside, egg whites run and hide when they see me drag this out of the drawer. The sturdy wires, full shape and comfortable handle make this my preferred tool for egg whites (at least four of them), whipped cream (at least a cupful) and some batters (genoise, anyone?). Especially if you're a taller, large-handed type that really wants to be able to put their muscle into the task, this is the tool for you. Best products, in general, are well-made and highly affordable. I promise this will cut the time you spend to whip eggwhites and the like by hand, and make it so mcuh fun, that you'll stop using the mixer to do so.

I recently purchased the "Best Manufacturers 12-Inch Balloon Whip with Metal Handle." I needed a new whip and my prior experience with Best whips has been great. I have 2 other whips from Best, both of which I got in 1987 when I was in culinary school. I have used them both A LOT since then - I am a pastry chef and always cooking or baking something. After 23 years of constant use, dishwasher cleaning, high heat cooking, heavy batter whipping, etc., they are both still in like new condition. So when I wanted another balloon whip, I couldn't bring myself to buy a $3 whip at the local restaurant supply. It had to be another Best Whip.

When this one arrived, I inspected it for build quality to see if they have cut any corners since 20+ years ago. I am happy to report that, except for a slightly brushed finish on the handle (makes for better grip), it looks to be constructed identically to the ones from way back then. Holding it side by side with the old ones, you could not tell which one was new and which were old.

This is a quality product line. I wholeheartedly recommend this product and the others from this manufacturer and would buy their products again and again (except that they last forever, so there's no need).

Buy a Best Whip, you will be happy you did, and you will never have to replace it under regular use.
